GDT: 8/9/'14, Braves (Harang) vs. Nationals, 7:10 EST Bonny playing SS-

Leave it to B.J. to get up 2-0, then swing at three straight pitches and strikeout. What a f***ing terrible baseball player.

And he's our leadoff hitter. Awesome.
 
I think we'll be a lot better team once Peraza is ready to leadoff for us. We'll just have to figure out what position he will play for us between likely second, centerfield or third. It seems the Braves really want to keep him at second since he's a likely gold glove second baseman. But that means moving La Stella to another position and I'm not sure how well that will work.

Give Freddie a break. YOLO...or something like that. Why not bat one of the worst hitters in baseball leadoff? It miraculously worked for about 105 games.

It seems third would be the best option unless we're willing to eat a ton of money on BJ Upton by putting Peraza in CF. In that light, I just don't see the logic of signing Chris Johnson to a long term contract. It'll be very interesting to see how all of this plays out.

It's incredibly stupid. I'd rather see him struggle even more in the 8 spot where he's getting less at-bats than play "a bit" better in the leadoff.

Also, LaRoche ripped that. Harang needs to shut them down or this could be rough here.
 
Now job fielding the ball, but La Stella made a really poor throw. Good job by Boni to catch that and get an out. I thought that was going over him.

That was almost an awesome attempt. wow. With Simmons there, that's a DP... but good play for Boni.

La Stella needs to keep in mind he can't just throw wildly that way without Simmons. Simmons will catch almost anything, but he is special that way.
